Mallone recalls one clergyman, trying to make the best of statistics that show a rapid decline in church membership, saying his church was not dying, but dieting. Mallone, a teaching elder at an interdenominational church in Richmond, has a different view. “I'd say it’s anorexia ner- vosa,” a self-destructive ob- session with thinness that leaves its victims skin and bones. *-Mallone’s assessment ~ is based on a month-long tour across Canada during which he and Rev. Bob Birch, a pastor from Vancouver, in- terviewed 300 pastors and talked with 3,000 people. They found: — Hard-working pastors whose efforts brought little real church growth. The church is growing in French Quebec, in ethnic commu- nities, among prisoners and the handicapped and among natives, but membership is static or declining in the mainstream of English Can- ada. — Little heart and spirit in worship and poorly prepared ministers. “People are hun- gry for the word of God, but are starving on a diet of ser- monettes.” Forms of worship are rigid and dated, ignoring the fact that “true, lasting revival has always produced new forms through prayer, Church has ‘anorexia’ pain, fruitfulness and joy.” — Poor interdenomination- al communications that leads to competition, the isolation of pastors from one another and little sharing of talented or trained people. — A sense of self-suffi- ciency in Ontario that cen- tralizes church decision- making in a rather uncre- ative working environment, Mallone and Birch consider Ontario's “ultra-conservative attitude... to be a hind: — Little und of Bachelor of Ap- plied Science in civil engin- eering; Sarita Sather, dip- loma’ in Dental Hygiene; ‘Michael Halisheff, Bachelor “01 yh Mario Amantea, Bachelor of Commerce; Christopher Haack, Licentiate in Account- ing; Donato Desandoli,.

Not all funerals could be like this one, nor should it be nece! taken as a pat- tern, but when families are close and come together to share, there is a sweetness poured over the sorrow that only those who know the re- ality of resurrection can un- derstand, - : How can it be with a loved one lying cold in death that we can sing so heartily of the love of God? How could it be that our only tears were sen- _ timental expressions of a great happiness because we are part of a beloved earthly family? And better than that, we are part of the family of God. How can it be that the sorrow one can feel ina time like this is for sthers, and that their tears are not because of their own sorrow but because they know peo- ple love them? Our touch and gentle embrace was saying that we would all be near to- morrow and tomorrow as we have always been. We were grandfathers and grandmothers, moms and dads, cousins, nephews and nieces, in-laws and closest friends .who converged on one spot overnight. We flowed together as the warm waters of a river engulfs the tributaries of her watershed, snd we became not far away relatives but, intimate bro- thors and sisters, : We do not make a trifling | thing of the occasion for there was deep sorrow in the passing of a father and a hus- band, a relative and true friend. Who can take the place of an empty chair at the table, or the room without a volee? No one else on earth. Even Jesus wept at the passing of a friend and those closest to Cliff wept and we'll miss him until the day we see him again, and that's the very reason we could sing and laugh and give ourselves to each other and shed those tears of happiness, because Cliff has not left us. He is alive. We gathered around be- fore we left and perhaps those few moments were the most precious, for we broke oursolves for each other.
